Ducati Desmo 450 owners - initial thoughts on your purchase?

Probably a little early for an answer, but I'm curious as well.

I’m curious about maintenance intervals and parts prices.

The bikes are available here in the UK.

I got a to ride the Ducati through https://ducatimxexperience.co.uk/

The bikes are well made and very easy to ride.

Looks like they are showing up in US dealers now.  Hoping for some real world reports as well.  Worried about the electrical system on these bikes based on previous Ducati experience.

I'd rather buy a Stark Varg 1.2

I'd rather buy a real CRF.

I guess deliveries started in France. VIN 299 in this vid.

I'd rather buy a sandwich, if we're talking about random other things. 

Im not buying one but i work in a dealer. I got my tenere 700. 

The bike is extremely narrow and high-quality but man idling she vibrates a good bit compared to the others. think shes gonna take off well

I appreciate the fact they tried to do something a little different looks wise with the number plates/plastic. Doesn’t quite hit the mark for me and that exhaust/ muffler is ugly as sin, but cool that they are arrriving!

I’m sure OEM parts are going to be pretty pricy.  I wonder if enough of them will get sold here for the aftermarket to really dig in to bring replacement parts prices down.

Fay Myers in Denver got one in last week. It was already spoken for so it may or may not still be there.
